Answer: 12 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a standard Work Formula question (2 or more 'entities' that work on a task together). When there are just 2 entities and there are no 'twists' to the question, we can use the Work Formula to get to the correct answer.

Work = (A)(B)/(A+B) where A and B are the individual times needed to complete the task.

We're told that two hoses take 20 minutes and 30 minutes, respectively, to fill a pool. We're asked how long it takes the two hoses, working together, to fill the pool.

(20)(30)/(20+30) = 600/50 = 12 minutes to fill the pool.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • 1

vector AB(3-(-6); 5-7)

vector AB(9;-2)

AB= \sqrt{9^{2}+(-2)^{2}  } = \sqrt{85}

  • 2

M is the midpoint of AB

we have B(-5;10) and M(1;7)

let A(x;y)

(x-5)/2 = 1 ⇒ x-5 = 2⇒ x = 7

(10=y)/2 = 7⇒ 10+y = 14 ⇒y= 4

so : A(7;4)

  • 3

the center of the circle is the midponit of the line joining both ends of the diameter

let A(x;y) be the other end

(-2+x)/2 = 2 ⇒ -2+x = 4⇒ x= 6

(5=y) = -1 ⇒ 5+y = -2 ⇒ y= -7

so the coordinates of the other end are (6; -7)

  • 4

A,B and C are collinear such as AB=BC so b is the midpoint of AC

(-5+1)/2 = y ⇒ y = -4/2 ⇒ y = -2

((-3=x)/2 = 7 ⇒ -3+x = 14 ⇒ x = 17

so x= 17 and y = -2
